Medical Instrument Development Laboratories, Inc. (MID) products

The AVE advantage: The AVE offers the advantage of high quality, high-speed vitreous cutters with superior aspiration performance to users of virtually any surgical system that has a pneumatic vitreous cutter drive source.

The UVE advantage: Confidence is the result of predictable behavior and responsive control. The matched performance of the UVE driver and MID Labs` proven cutter technology delivers outstanding fluidics at unprecedented cut rates. Non-linear control algorithms instantly track cut rate changes.

Leading the Industry: From the first MicroVit® Vitreous Cutter in 1982, to our 8000 plus cut per minute High Speed Vitrectors, MID Labs has set the standard for Vitreous Cutters.

Uninterrupted Flow: Consistent aspiration continues throughout entire cut cycle. Continuous open port permits greater (vitreous) tissue removal efficiency. Bi-directional blade leaves port open in all positions increasing duty cycle. Lower, safer vacuum levels for comparable vitreous removal rates.

Ergonomically Designed Handle: Operational stability due to longer barrel design and grasping section with tactile ribbing; Thumb-activated protraction and retraction at rear of handle allows for tactile operation.
